+# The 16 Bit Datacenter
+
+This repository contains the source code and demos for a talk I gave at [CHINOG 10](https://chinog.org/chi-nog-10)
+
+## Slides
+[View the presentation slides](https://bewing.github.io/chinog-10/presentation.html)
+
+The presentation slides are generated using [backslide](https://github.com/sinedied/backslide)
+
+If you have backslide installed, you can generate the static HTML for the slidedeck by running
+`make slides`.  The slides will be stored in `dist/presentation.html`
+
+## generate.go
+[View the geneate.go demo](https://bewing.github.io/chinog-10/demo.html)
+
+There is a simple `generate.go` file that can be built to generate configs for
+an Arista 7280SR2A in the manner described in the talk.  You can build this binary
+by running `make generate` if you have GNU Make and Golang installed.
+
+Once built, you can run `bin/generate -router-id XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX` to write the config to stdout
+
+## Containerlab Demo
+[View the containerlab demo](https://bewing.github.io/chinog-10/clab-demo.html)
+
+The lab folder contains the YAML and configurations to build a [containerlab](https://containerlab.dev/)
+demo of Arista cEOS and Ubuntu [FRR](https://frrouting.org/) nodes.  You will need to provide your own cEOS
+image -- update [lab/bitwiselclab.yaml line 5](lab/bitwise.clab.yaml#L5) with your local image.
+
+Building the lab is straightforward
+
+```bash
+$ cd lab
+$ containerlab deploy -c
+```
+
+Refer to the [containerlab documentation](https://containerlab.dev/quickstart/) for more information about
+accessing and using the lab after it is deployed.
